The bad news is that things are bad. The good news is it’s becoming increasingly likely for a cool anime situation to happen, where the last human city is guarded by teenagers piloting giant mech suits

1st we need NERV technology that shields cities so mecha can fight without crushing buildings & people!
(I STILL don’t get why pilots MUST be 14/born post-apocalypse? Is there a video essay or fact-based blog explanation? I saw it all, but was too distracted by gross fan service, re: young teens🤢)
I would rather live in a utopia than a dystopia, but I can see the appeal of a final city called Salvation One that’s under constant attack by titanic monsters known as Xenotyrants
More bad news is that the personal narratives of the pilots are unlikely to be visible to the civilians so we won't get to see them overcome their trauma
"It looks like Shinji is refused to get in the mech yesterday afternoon. Stay tuned for noted protagonist-psychologist Dr. Eggman with his exceptional wisdom on the subject"
